HP-UX 11.11 Dump / TOC

[John Goetz]

Just configured a new Superdome and want to do a TOC test. How do I go about this?

Hi John,

If all you want to do is test whether the system dumps correctly, then you can just go into the MP for that cell & issue the TC command to TOC it.
If you want to simulate a "real-world" TOC, then you have to choose a piece of critical HW (power supply for ex) & disable enough of it to force a TOC. That's always a dicy proposition & I would recommend you consult with HP on the proper or best way to do that with the configuration you currently have.

Rgds,
Jeff

FYI another great feature is the RS command that allows you to reset a hung system without toggling the power switch...it can be a lifesaver which can be issued remotely if you dont have direct console access...

Gratz on the SD, you will love it as I do mine.

Hi Guys

For my info - dosn't the superdome have a toc button on the back?
